Life in Pictures

Hip, artsy and extremely catchy — we can't stop watching this music video at New Hope Film Fest! — Canadian pop artist Herman Wang's Life in Pictures has all the ingredients of a hit. You may note an influence from 1980s new wave music, and Richard Blade might want to take note, but this youthful, Toronto-based synthpop band is interpreting the genre in a fresh way, which is exciting for music fans.

We love the special effects in this NHFF Official Selection music video, and the group has something important to say about our modern world's obsession with two-dimensional, photographic imagery, but even after the final credits have rolled, the music stays with us. And Wang's piercing eyes.
